Hi guys
We are relatively new to touring own a 2006 elddis 556 avante. For some reason the center floor cupboard which appears to be roughly over the axel keeps coming loose and the screws dropping out of the side and floor following every journey, we have tried to re centre and fit back but the same thing happens every journey. Is this something that we could do with maybe different brackets or would it be a specialist fit. (We did have to have a new axel fitted due to bushes wearing)
Many Thanks for any advice.

Hi and welcome to the forum. I would think it sounds like a vibration problem. First thing I would try is having the tyres balanced.

No problem, I was just thinking with more regards to your recent axle replacement due to worn bushes, that would create excessive vibration,(Bailey I assume). Perhaps the door has come off so many times in the past that the screw holes are not as tight on the screw threads as they should be?

Hi Dave
thanks for the insight, I've just asked hubby if he re drilled but he said he used the same screw holes so that could possibly be part of the problem, we will get the wheels rebalanced and then refix the cupboard in a new place once that is done fingers crossed this sorts out the problem.

Would be worth putting some setting adhesive in the screw holes to firm everything up; even epoxy car filler. Mask any visible surfaces though.
